Balaay

AI receptionist for electricians

How Balaay answers an electrician’s phone: takes the fault and the address, tells a caller not to touch sparking wiring, and never talks anyone through electrical work.

Half your calls are a socket that stopped working and half are something a customer should not be near. The phone cannot tell you which until somebody asks.

Balaay is an AI receptionist for businesses that run on calls. Balaay is an AI receptionist for businesses that run on calls. It learns a business from that business’s own website, answers its phone, holds the conversation, takes the next step where it can, and records what it actually did.

Everything below describes how the receptionist is configured for this sector — the vocabulary it uses, what it has to capture, and what it refuses to do. Dental is where that configuration goes deepest, because it was built there first. Nothing on this page is a customer claim, and a build gate fails on any sentence that implies one.

What people actually ring about

What it asks for, and why

What it treats as urgent

What it will not do

When it is not a booking

Sparking, burning smells, exposed wiring or a shock is a life-safety matter. The caller is told not to touch it, to isolate at the consumer unit only if it is safe to reach, and to call emergency services if there is fire or injury.

Real calls, and exactly where the line falls

Eight things a caller actually says, and for each: what Balaay already knows, what it asks, what it may do, what it must not invent, when it escalates, what gets verified, and what is left for a person. The refusals are the useful part — a receptionist that will not guess a price or grade an emergency is worth more than one that appears to know everything.

“There is a burning smell from a socket.”

Knows already: That a burning smell is a life-safety matter.

Asks: Nothing that delays them.

May do: Tell the caller to stop using the socket, switch off at the consumer unit if it is safe to reach, and contact emergency services if there is smoke. Flag immediately.

Will not invent: That it is probably the appliance, or that it can wait for a morning visit.

Escalates: Immediately, as a safety escalation.

Verified: That the safety message was given and the call flagged.

Left for a person: Attendance and the decision to isolate.

“Half my house has no power.”

Knows already: Your service area and hours, and that a partial outage is a fault rather than a supply failure.

Asks: The address, which circuits are dead, and whether a breaker has tripped and will not reset.

May do: Capture the fault with the affected circuits, and flag it if the caller reports anything hot, sparking or smelling.

Will not invent: Whether it is the supply or the installation. Those have different owners and telling a caller the wrong one wastes a day.

Escalates: A breaker that trips again immediately, or any heat or smell, is flagged.

Verified: The captured circuits and any urgency flag.

Left for a person: Diagnosis, and whether this is the distributor’s problem rather than yours.

“A socket sparked when I plugged something in.”

Knows already: That sparking is on your urgent list.

Asks: The address, whether anything is scorched, and whether the circuit still works.

May do: Tell the caller to stop using that socket, capture the fault, and flag it.

Will not invent: That a single spark is harmless.

Escalates: Yes — flagged for a person, whether or not a slot was available.

Verified: What advice was given, and that the call was flagged rather than merely booked.

Left for a person: Deciding how quickly somebody attends.

“I need an EICR for a rental.”

Knows already: Whether you list inspection and testing.

Asks: The address, the property type, and when the certificate is needed by.

May do: Capture the enquiry with the deadline, because a date-driven job is a different priority from a fault.

Will not invent: A price, or that the certificate can be issued by a given date.

Escalates: No, unless the caller reports a fault as well.

Verified: The captured deadline, read back before the call ends.

Left for a person: Scheduling against the deadline, and the quote.

External software: the honest position

External field-service write-back is NOT yet production verified. Balaay does not write jobs into ServiceTitan, Jobber or Housecall Pro today. It keeps its own schedule and records what it captured, and your team works from that. Any vendor telling you otherwise about their own product is worth asking to demonstrate live.
